Please don't generalise all British people based on your experiences, it's silly.

I do care, quite a bit considering some of the ludicrous things that both parties want to or have implemented. I live in this country and I want to make sure it stays in a somewhat liveable state.

I also care about US politics because it affects the world a whole lot, just like their economical crisis has caused our stocks to drop as well.

I do care about our politics, even if you don't, I am a british teen so please don't think that because you are a british teen too we all think like you.

And how can you say you don't like polititans in britain and you wouldn't trust them to 'run an egg and spoon race, never mind the flippin country!'  If you are also not interested in politics?
If you are not interested, then you will not have researched the reasons behind their actions or found out about their policies, so do you have a reason for not liking them?

not just our stocks, their housing market started all this, it then effected ours, then their banks started screwing up and i think it was our northern rock that was the first to falter, then everything cascaded from there

Yeah there is nobody like Margaret Hilda Thatcher anymore she was the last great PM in the UK and the best leader the conservative party ever had. Her tenacity and sound judgement kept this country running on all 8 cylinders making most Brits proud of their country and accomplishments.

Lol... she's the one who's put this country at great risk this depression, since she sold off most of our assets. What a wonderful PM and a great role model for any woman wishing to do well in politics.

OP, I don't know anyone not interested in politics. What kind of lifestyle do you lead? No doubt your parents bought a house from BerryCuda's good ol' friend Maggie.

a normal , basic one i suppose
my friends dont need 2 be interested in politics
because
unless theres a risk of them personally being affected they dont need 2 know

the way i live is that unless you need to know something
you dont need to learn/have an interest in it

thanks for all the responses

you'll probably find that a lot more teens than you realise are into politics. i've always had a great interest in british politics, as have many of my friends.

although, i do agree. good politicians here are lacking at the minute. it's the first time i can vote in a bit and there's no party i'd give my vote to at the moment!

unless theres a risk of them personally being affected they dont need 2 know

that's so sad.

Aimee, you'll probably find that the only good politicians are the ones ruling when we're under attack. Every other one is the worst one in their position we've ever had. For the duration, anyway.
